the classic SF i've been reading is the Book of the New Sun which is great. it's a mindfuck, some really haunting lines in there.

been reading Black Powder War by Naomi Novik. it's fun, you get an interesting slice of Chinese political economy. i especially appreciated the bit where the main character completely fails to understand Taoism. I'm pretty sure she'd kill a Le Guin protagonist on sight.

i also like how the shamans in the book need to be constantly hosed up on psychedelics to do magic. that plus all the war crimes make it feel pretty, idk, Alan Moore. like From Hell wearing the skin of a YA dystopia novel.

the marvel movies that attempt to be political thrillers are the funnier ones because it's dudes in underwear punching each other saying "government good" "no government bad"
